Conversations Across Cultures...
Conversations Across Cultures is a monthly free - and now virtual - event that gathers people from all walks of life to talk about culture and life experiences.
Our goal is to build community through authentic conversations. By teaching and practicing better communication skills, we foster understanding and a greater sense of empathy and respect within the community.
Our events can also teach how to resolve conflicts when disagreements arise, as effective communication can help tackle them in a constructive and respectful way.
Better communication skills can increase community engagement and participation, leading to a more active and connected community. Conversations Across Cultures aims to be a tool for encouraging diversity and fostering inclusion while strengthening community relationships.
